welcome to bear and babbles!!, teheh! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა.
key code │ 🧸 - daddy │ 🍼 - pumpkin.
bear & babbles is a cute thing that we decided to create to help talk about agere in a safe environment! we will be answering questions (both me & daddy!) and answering some emails!!
i think it'll be fun to see both point of views too, from a little (and someone who struggles with mental health) + a caregiver whose been in the role for a while now.
today's topic : mental health

🍼 : looking after your mental health is so so so so so important + can be so easily overlooked with how busy life can get sometimes. i think it’s important for both caregivers + littles to check up on one another to make sure the other one is doing okay (truly).
mental health shouldn’t be seen as a burden in the relationship, and i think it’s as important to make routines for bad mental health days as it is to make a routine for day to day regression.
sometimes we can’t control how our minds work (especially if you have been diagnosed with conditions) + sometimes we need to take a step back to heal and better ourselves and that’s okay!
you’re still a valid regressor/ caregiver if you take a break to look after yourself for a while, you’re human <3.
🧸 : I completely agree with what Pumpkin has said above, mental health is so important and more times than often overlooked on behalf of other people.
I also believe that people without a diagnosed condition is just as valid to have a bad day as those who do have conditions and I think sometimes we burn ourselves out because we see ourselves as ‘not as bad’ as people around us who are diagnosed, which is completely false.
Everyone is entitled to a lazy or reset day to take care of themselves, including caregivers. Sometimes we’re so focused on making sure our littles are okay, we lose track on our own basic needs. Remember to plan some days for yourself to be vulnerable and to just unwind.
You’re important, remember that.
